Experience A-10 Tank Killer, developed and published by Dynamix in 1989. Strap into the Fairchild Republic A-10A Thunderbolt II and fly close-air-support sorties built around realistic avionics, manual CCIP/CCRP bomb runs, and the iconic GAU-8/A. Plan ingress routes, pop-up attacks, and egress under SAM and AAA threat. Mission briefs, debriefs, and damage modeling reward disciplined flying and clean weapons employment. It’s a formative late-’80s PC combat-flight sim that blends readability with authentic CAS doctrine.
Rooted in sim pillars like Gunship (1986) and F-19 Stealth Fighter (1988), A-10 Tank Killer pushed cockpit feedback, ground-attack fidelity, and scenario variety. Its approach to CAS and campaign flow helped set the tone for Dynamix successors such as Red Baron (1990) and Aces of the Pacific (1992), and it directly led to A-10 Tank Killer v1.5 (1991). Expect meaningful trade-offs among altitude, speed, and signature; Mavericks and dumb bombs; and survivability versus aggression. The throughline is tactics and timing—mask with terrain, roll in on target, and manage your energy and countermeasures.
This Big Box New & Sealed release pairs naturally with A-10 Tank Killer v1.5 to show the platform’s refinement, or alongside Red Baron and Aces of the Pacific for a clean Dynamix sim lineage. It anchors any shelf focused on Cold-War air combat and the rise of study-leaning DOS flight sims. A tidy add for collectors curating late-’80s Sierra/Dynamix showcases and ground-attack classics.
